To assess the effectiveness and safety ofinside-out (TVT-O) vs. outside-in transobturator-tape procedures (TOT) in the surgical management of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).A total of 8 randomized controlled trials were retrieved from the literature and analyzed by metaanalysis with RevMan 5.0 software.Meta-analysis showed that no statistical differences existed in objective cure rate,objective failure,postoperative voiding dysfunction,groin/thigh pain and sling exposure in both procedures (P ＞ 0.05).These preliminary results suggest there is no evidence of significant differences in the efficacy and safety between TVT-O and TOT.

BACKGROUND:There are many preliminary studies on the survival, metaptosis, and correlation characteristics of human amniotic epithelial cel s after transplanted into the animals, but there are no reports on the quantitative analysis of the transplantation effect. OBJECTIVE:To make quantitative analysis on serum biochemical function of liver and the expression of human albumin in mice received passaged human amniotic epithelial cel s transplantation in spleen. METHODS:Forty nude mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=10 in each group):hepatectomy+cel transplantation 2 weeks group, hepatectomy+cel transplantation 4 weeks group, hepatectomy+normal saline group (treated with partial hepatectomy) and hepatectomy+cel transplantation group (transplanted with 0.2 mL passaged human amniotic epithelial cel s with 5×106 under spleen, and the blood were col ected at 2 and 4 weeks after transplantation). The mice in the hepatectomy+normal saline group were treated with splenic injection of 0.2 mL normal saline;the cel transplantation group did not receive hepatectomy, and transplanted with 0.2 mL passaged human amniotic epithelial cel s with 5×106 under spleen. The histological and morphological changes of the liver and spleen in each group as wel as the expressions of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and human serum albumin in each group were detected, and the quantitative analysis of human serum albumin expression was performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no obvious morphological change after human amniotic epithelial cel s transplanted into the acute liver injury mice for 4 weeks, but specific cel s could be detected by histological method. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and human serum albumin were improved obviously, and the human albumin could be detected in serum, the level of human albumin at 4 weeks after transplantation was significantly increased than 2 weeks after transplantation. Human amniotic epithelial cel s can survive for more than 4 weeks after transplanted into the liver injury mice, and can stil express partial characteristics and functions of hepatocyte-like cel s, improve the liver function, thus treating acute liver injury.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the synthesis technology of sorafenib tosylate (Ⅰ). METHODS:The intermediate N-methyl-(4-chlorpyridin-2-yl)carboxamide(Ⅳ)was obtained by chlorination and amidation with 2-picolinic acid as the starting com-pound. Meanwhile,N-[4-chloro-3-(triflouromethyl)phenyl]-N′-(4-hydroxyphenyl)urea (Ⅶ) was prepared from aminophenol and 4-chloro-3-trifluoromethyl phenyl isocyanate,which was obtained from 4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline(Ⅴ)by reaction with initiator triethylamine. Sorafenib tosylate was synthesized from Ⅳ and Ⅶ with potassium tert-butoxide by condensation and salt for-mation. The target compound was characterized by 1H-NMR. RESULTS:The target compound was confirmed as Ⅰ,with the over-all yield of 74% [based on 4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethylanilin)]. The purification of chromatogram was 94%. Optimized technology improves yield and simplifies multi-step intermediate decompression,distillation and purification process;the application of initia-tor shortens the duration of reaction. CONCLUSIONS:Ⅰ is prepared successfully,and raw material can be obtained easily and is easy to operate with high yield.

ThermoScript~ TM RNase H~ - Transcriptase and AMV Transcriptase were used to synthesize cDNA separately. The cDNAs were used as templates to amplify conotoxin genes by PCR.The optimized RNA isolation and cDNA synthesis methods were obtained according to RT-PCR results, which would be the basis for cloning of new conotoxin genes.

Objective To summarize the progress on the injury mechanism of vascular endothelial cells in atherosclerosis.Methods The latest progress was reviewed in recent literatures.Results All kinds of etiological factors have activated NF kappa B and cytokines in the development of atherosclerosis, which lead to expression of cell adhesive molecules and adhesion of monocytes to vascular endothelial cells.A variety of inflammatory mediums are released, which can directly damage endothelial cells.Besides, the inflammatory mediums make monocytes and neutrophils attach to endothelial cells by immune mechanisms, which injure the endothelial cells more severely. Meanwhile the damaged membrance structure leads to the production of AECA which activates the complementary system. Then the vascular endothelial cell injury is aggravated and the development of atherosclerosis accelerated. Conclusion It is very important to recognize the injury mechanism of vascular endothelial cells in the development of atherosclerosis for prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.
